Fillip is pleased to announce the worldwide availability of issue 18.

The issue continues Apparatus, Capture, Trace, a series edited by Kate Steinmann examining the links between biopolitics and photography. For this issue, Martha Langford investigates Vladimir Putin’s use of staged official state photography and Ahmad Hosni writes on the role of Facebook within the Egyptian revolution of January 2011.

Fillip 18 also features a special section on art and labour guest edited by Gabrielle Moser. Operating as an extension of the discussions about the financial and labour conditions of contemporary art, Always Working invites the critic and historian Sven Lütticken and the artist Natascha Sadr Haghighian to reflect on the conditions under which artistic labour is made to appear or disappear.

Fillip 18 is available for $15 USD, shipped internationally. The issue is distributed in Europe and Asia by Motto Distribution and direct from Fillip in Canada and the US. Stockists, please contact us at office@fillip.ca for more information.
